U.S. New and World Report, 12/15/97, has an article (pp 79-80) on how Aetna
Insurance Co provides *free* lactation consultant services, pump rentals,
and pumping space for employees at its headquarters in Hartford,
Connecticut.  The reason?  It saves them money, of course, if their
workers' babies are breastfed.

Yet Aetna provides uneven coverage for my clients, sometimes covering,
sometimes not.  I've written up a *very short* cover letter to accompany
the article, and will give a highlighted copy of the article and letter to
future Aetna-insured clients.  Hope it helps!
